This drama is probably one of the most under-rated ones amongst Japanese fare. A very touching story of a terminally ill but spirited young girl who rediscovers what life is all about. People doubting Mao chan's acting prowess should watch this and shut up. She has single-handedly carried the burden of the story in this drama. The relationship between the brother-sister duo is portrayed with sensitivity, ditto with the love story. The side characters like Banba san or any of the brother's friends or the doctors have given fitting support to the leads. Must watch if you like emotional, slightly slow-paced dramas.
Well let's see now, the initial 2-3 episodes did not hold much promise. But strangely enough the story is set into motion afterwards. There couldn't have been a better person for the role of a scatterbrain princess than Kim Tae Hee and a suave, charming diplomat than Song Seung Hun. What makes this drama tick is the cute yet hot chemistry between the leads, the way their romance develops and ultimately triumphs over all troubles that come their way. Park Ye Jin's role as the evil woman also adds to the spice as she has portrayed her part as the cold, calculating Oh Yoon Joo to perfection. It may drag in the beginning but if you hold on and keep on watching you'll surely find yourself getting addicted to it. What's saddening is that when the drama ends you will find yourself missing both princess Lee Seol, the hot diplomat Park Hae Young and their refreshing romance. And aww those kisses! <3
Well the movie did start off on a promising note but things went downhill after that. Jung Won and Eun Gyu''s relationship isn''t given sufficient time to develop and things always seem to be moving at the speed of light with too many things happening in quick succession. Suddenly we see things happening but nothing seems to make sense. The acting is relatively good and I felt that the music is amazing. That made this movie watchable for me!
